Insights:
  • York City have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Dorking Wanderers have the most conceded goals (81) in National League

Not a lot of time to rest for the host team, as they played a National League fixture only four days back. This match was also played here at Bradley Community Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Dorking Wanderers have had more rest.

York City form and stats

5-5-8 (win-draw-lost) are the National League numbers at home for York City so far this season. When York City hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Aldershot Town, Gateshead, Yeovil Town, Scunthorpe United, Torquay United, York City and Maidstone United), they have won 3 of 4 matches!

The York City crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Altrincham (after extra-time) here at Bradley Community Stadium.

Ahead of that result, a home defeat in the Fa Trophy against Altrincham (after extra-time). The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how York City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 12 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 3 and lost 5.

The York fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 18 matches. On the other hand, York City have conceded 26 goals.

Dorking Wanderers form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dorking Wanderers so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-13 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Wanderers have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Dorking Wanderers lost away at Notts County (after extra-time) (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Barnet (after extra-time).

We have checked recent matches where Wanderers have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 8 games were 1 victory, 1 draw and 6 defeats.

The visiting Dorking Wanderers have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 21 goals from 18 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Wanderers manager White has some worries about the defense as 45 goals have been conceded in these travels. When Dorking Wanderers is visiting a side on the bottom half, 3 of 4 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Aldershot Town, Gateshead, Yeovil Town, Scunthorpe United, Torquay United, Dorking Wanderers and Maidstone United.
